Today's card combines both of these obsessions! Luckily for me this week's theme on one of my favourite challenge blogs, "Less is More", is Flowers, in addition I have used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.
 |
| I embossed the gerbera with white embossing powder before painting. |
I used the following:
Uniko Studio Stamp Set - Gerbera
Tim Holtz Stencil - Stripes
Versamark Ink
Stampendous Embossing Powder
Distress Inks - Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers
Windsor and Newton Water colours
I will enter it into the following challenges:
"Less is More" - Flowers
Freshly Made Sketches
STAMPlorations - Stamps and Flowers
I'm also going to put it in the Gallery on the Watercolor course to show that I have dome some homework! I used the technique shown by Tim Holtz to create the striped card as well as colouring the stamped image with water colour paints.
Enjoy!
What a fabulous flower. The blue is so crisp and fresh against the white. Thanks for coming to visit me" xx
